Stephan Haggard and Mira Rapp-Hooper Preview the Summit on Lawfare

Now, the president is preparing for a summit with the North Korean leader. To understand what to expect, Benjamin Wittes spoke on Friday to North Korea experts Mira Rapp-Hooper, senior research scholar at Yale Law School’s Paul Tsai China Center, and Stephan Haggard, distinguished professor at the University of California-San Diego and visiting fellow at the Peterson Institute. They discussed how we got here, what would make the Trump-Kim summit successful, and predictions for the future of northeast-Asian security. Listen to the podcast below.
